Hi Ivey,

finally a lgbt question! Lol im a woman who dates women so I totally understand what you’re going through.

Break ups are hard no matter what. But staying in a relationship because you don’t want the other to be sad will do long term damage. It sacrifices your own happiness and it makes things harder to let go further down the line.

It seems you definitely want to explore & that’s an important part of life & development, exploring. He can either support it or not, but that shouldn’t stop you from doing what you need to do for your individual growth.

Have you considered an open relationship? Or polyamory? Or are you just like, ready to move on completely and date a woman?
